Genesis Medical Center campaign closer to goal

The Genesis HealthCare Foundation recently announced contributions from local families to help build the new medical center. The recent gifts raise the capital campaign total to $11 million of the $15 million goal.

J. William and Mary Helen Straker donated $500,000 to the fundraising campaign. Throughout the past three decades, the Strakers have given about $1.5 million. In recognition of the Strakers' commitment, Genesis will name a Center of Excellence in their honor.

The information center in the main lobby of the new Genesis medical center will be named in honor of Laura F. Eschman because of a $100,000 gift from foundations connected to the Longaberger family. Tami Longaberger, of the Longaberger Foundation, and her sister, Rachel Stuckey, of the Scion Farms Foundation, made a donation to recognize the service of Eschman, their mother, who graduated from Good Samaritan School of Nursing in 1961, and worked in the field for two decades.

The fundraising campaign for the new Genesis medical center has received 25 gifts of $100,000 or more to date.
